English no be our papa language. Free dem o jare.

English may not be our father's or mother's language, but being able to communicate effectively in speech or in writing, is a skill. A graduate who seeks employment in a multinational or international establishment may need to prove a good understanding of English language.

On the other hand, these are just pictures with expressions of gratitude. Let's wish them well.

This is an example of charging in US dollars for a transaction within Nigeria, thereby putting pressure on the naira.

What has been shown is a dead baby by the roadside. We do not know whether a man or woman put the baby there. It is possible the baby was dead before he or she was put there.

Sometimes I wonder how a snake can actually swallow something bigger than its head size

A snake can temporarily dislocate its jaws to swallow its prey.

If you have seizures while awake that affect your consciousness, you are allowed to drive when you have been seizure free for at least 12 months. The 12 month seizure-free period applies from the date of your most recent seizure. You must also meet the following conditions:

- As far as you are able, you follow your doctor’s advice about your treatment and check-ups for epilepsy, and
- The driving agency is satisfied that as a driver you are not likely to be a source of danger to the public.

In the UK it is going right.

In the US or Nigeria it is going left

Because the passenger door is invisible and they drive on different sides of the road.

I agree with this answer. In countries where they drive on the right, the bus would be going left. In countries where they drive on the left, the bus would be going right.

French may be encouraged to the extent of making the language available for learning in secondary schools. However, French does not have to be compulsory. English as a compulsory subject is enough.

That's quite interesting. Compare with Lagos which is the only state that shares a common boundary with just one other state.

"Straight from the village" is not an excuse. The problem is not that she's cooking with firewood, but that she's cooking with firewood inside the house. Did she cook with firewood indoors in the village?

I've spent N12,500 x 5 (total - N62,500) on hourly plans for my laptop, plus N200 Pay As You Go on my phone. The total amount was N62,700.

Looking at the rear tyre, the car appears stationary. It's okay for the driver to make a phone call if he has parked.

How can rice be fake? It is either rice or not rice.

The goat belongs to the seller. The seller has not received any money. If the buyer was distracted to the extent of allowing the goat to chew all the money in his hand, that is his business. Besides, we do not know how much money was chewed. If the money was chewed, but not swallowed, let the buyer salvage whatever he can. If the buyer is not satisfied, he can go to court.

Mu’azu said an individual could enroll for a BVN without necessarily having a bank account.

Which bank would register a BVN for an individual without an account in that bank? The bank would probably compel the person to open an account at the same time.

He is probably just making use of the light.

Does anybody need to predict the end of the world? If the world comes to an end on a certain date as predicted, the person who gave the prediction would not be around to take the credit, so he or she loses either way.

Apart from the alleged rape, the man made at least two errors:
- Inscribing an identifiable tattoo.
- Sagging his trousers in public (thus revealing the tattoo).

What is the location of the restaurant? Is the restaurant in Nigeria?

I thought voluntary retirement was an individual affair. Why would four employees sign one letter of voluntary retirement?

Are there any laws against putting traps in your house or business property, to the extent of killing the intruder? If there are, then the shop owner could be prosecuted.

Some details are missing from this report. The name of the man who shot the bricklayer is not mentioned. The report did not say whether the shooter was arrested. Did the shooter go into hiding? Who is the "Isoko man"? Why was the wife of the Isoko man (whoever that is) arrested?

Someone please help me to calculate my BMI.
I weigh 70 kg
and my height is 1. 63cm

At 1.63 cm, you should still be in your mother's womb. I think you meant 1.63 m, in which case your body mass index (BMI) is 26.3.

It looks like a wedding dress.

Can someone explain the meaning of lakh to me before i comment?

A lakh is a unit in the Indian numbering system equal to one hundred thousand (100,000).

Rs 3.6 lakh = 360,000 rupees (about N1,080,000)

1 lakh US dollars = 100,000 US dollars

The picture was obviously edited. The ends of the second and third toes, as well as the vertical line near the big toe, clearly reveal some form of image modification.

From the appearance of the floor, there was probably a staircase leading to the door upstairs, which may have collapsed recently.
